Anyone who has seen my library, or my quilts, knows I've been on a decade-long journey of learning about tilings, thanks to Jacob introducing me to aperiodic tilings and running away giggling as the results detonated in my brain.

Sea Shanty is the third in a series of (I think) four Pride-themed quilts I'm planning to execute. It won't be as brassy or bold as its cousins, Queer as Fuck and This Heart Fights The Good Fight, but it's for another friend who finds comfort and meaning in the idea of owning a Pride-themed quilt.
